Quick Response Based Automatic Ticket Generation, Payment and Monitoring for Suburban Trains

摘要

Manual booking and monitoring of tickets in suburban trains is a hectic and time consuming process for the passengers and officials. Due to improper monitoring the government suffers a revenue loss every year. Hence we propose the development of an application that generates a QR code once the passenger logs in and is read to travel. The QR code has to be scanned at the boarding and destination station checkpoints for entry and exit access. The user's ticket details are stored in a database for security purpose. After the scanning process at the destination, the travel fare computed based on the boarding and destination stations shall be automatically deducted from the dedicated wallet. Thereby, streamlining the system through our application makes the process effortless, efficient and compatible. The ticket checker is also provided with a checker application with which the user's ticket information in the database can be verified. Thereby, streamlining the system through our application makes the process effortless, efficient and compatible.
